I did alright for Christmas. On top of some cash and gift cards, I got a Heath Miller bumblebee retro jersey, the first season of MacGyver and a ticket for the Steelers-Browns game which is now a meaningless game, but i'll enjoy it.

First Christmas with my son, so today was really something to remember. I don't think he knows really whats going on, but we got him some stuff that we wanted him to have. Strange being one of the 'adults' at Christmas... I am the oldest of a bunch of cousins and always thought I was one of the adults, but today was a lot of work and a bunch of gifts for my little guy, and virtually nothing for me but some booze and a couple cubans from my uncle, which he used to give to my dad before he passed. Was a great day... expecting another baby in April, so I think we'll have our first 'Santa' situation next year. Good times...

Hope everyone's Christmas was just as good. If it wasn't, hope you at least found some peace today.

Hope everyone had a good Xmas; ours was hectic but turned out for the best.On Christmas eve some idiots almost ran over our son in front of our house. We live on a secondary city street with a 25 mph limit.We're also on a corner of a 4 way stop sign. My son was in front of his parked car and turned his back to walk back to the house. A SUV going the other direction crossed over and slammed into his Jeep missing pinning him by less than a foot. They had to be going really fast because they lifted the passenger side tires of his Jeep up over the curb. They stopped and then took off but my son got their plate number. The cops found them at their house;the guy was driving on a suspended license.I went from being royally PO'd to being thankful after realizing my son was likely 2 seconds away from being dead or severely crippled for life.
